It was he who stood with the governor of Brovno in the prison-yard and watched Radna Michaelis flogged by the soldiers. I received news this morning that the arrangements are complete, and that the sentence will be carried out to-morrow night." "Yes, that is so," added Natasha, as Colston ceased speaking. "Everything is settled.
You see, he was afraid of being robbed, and danger threatened him from three different directions. There were the guards. Then again, the First Hall-man could have taken it all away from him by threatening to dismiss him and fire him back to hard labor in the prison-yard. And yet again, there were the ten of us who were ordinary hall-men.
The reader may now understand what the prison-yard is to the two hundred prisoners in the Conciergerie: their garden a garden without trees, beds, or flowers in short, a prison-yard. The parlor, and the stone of Saint-Louis, where such food and liquor as are allowed are dispensed, are the only possible means of communication with the outer world.
One side of the prison-yard that on which the Hall of Saint-Louis forms the first floor displays a long row of Gothic columns, between which the architects of I know not what period have built up two floors of cells to accommodate as many prisoners as possible, by choking the capitals, the arches, and the vaults of this magnificent cloister with plaster, barred loopholes, and partitions.

Few emotions are stronger in the hour of death than the desire to be embalmed in the affections of those who are dear to us. All being ready, the gens d'armes marched the condemned, in a column, into the prison-yard, where five rude carts were awaiting them, to convey them to the scaffold.
After being confined seven days in a prison-yard in Camden, Hunter was taken, with many other prisoners, including about fifty officers, to Orangeburg, where he remained until the 13th of November following, without hat or coat. On that day, without any intention of transgressing, he set out to visit a friendly lady in the suburbs who had promised to give him a homespun coat.

I experience a sweet delight in acting through him; for I love him. Oh, yes, I love him! yet he will be for ever ignorant of this eternal passion of my life." While Madame d'Harville awaits the Goualeuse, we will return to the prison-yard.
